A sweater is my favorite piece of clothing. The sweater is black. It has bears on it. It is special because my mom gave it to me. I got it last Christmas. I wear it to school. It is soft. It keeps me warm.

My favorite place to visit is Black Wolf Lodge. It is at the Wisconsin Dells. My family and I went swimming there. It has four water slides. They are indoors, so you can go when it is cold outside. The fastest slide is my favorite. I got to go shopping there. I got to buy two Beanie Babies. I also played games in the game room. I had a lot of fun.

My favorite game is Mouse Trap. It is a board game that several people can play. You roll the die and you move your game piece that looks like a mouse around the board. You want to make it all the way around without getting caught in the net that traps your mouse. It is an exciting game to play. Cameron |
I like California because there are a lot of things to do there. You can visit Disneyland. You can get Mickey Mouse's autograph--and Minnie's, too. There are a lot of famous people there, like Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I really love the weather, too, because it never snows there.

My favorite place to go is California. I like to go there because I was born there. I might go there, again, some day. I would go to Disneyland. I could visit the airplane museum and sit in one of the planes. Maybe you have been there. I like that place a lot. Chris |

I picked my favorite game. It is tag. The way you play it is, one person is the tagger. He has to touch the other person. The person that was touched is now the tagger. You can play with a lot of people. The more people, the more fun it is to play. We can't play it at school on the playground. Too many people were getting knocked down and hurt. Joey

My favorite game is Checkers. This is what you do. First you set the game up. The board looks like a pattern of red and black squares. Two people can play. You can only move forward. Then one person moves from one place to another. You want to get to the other side. If you do, you get kinged. Then you can move any direction you want. To win the game you have to capture all of the other person's pieces.

My favorite game is Leap Frog. In Leap Frog you have to jump over other people, and other people jump over you. You get down on your hands and knees like a frog. People put their hands on your back and jump over you. I like this because you get to jump. I like to jump over little people. They're easier to jump over. Hillary |

I will tell you about my favorite song. It is called "Barbie Girl". It is sang by Aqua. I like the words. In music class, I like to sing a Halloween song called, "Listen, I Can Hear Something Funny Outside". At the end you get to scare the people that are listening because the thing outside is now there with you. Natasha |

My favorite place to go is The Lake of the Ozarks. We use to own a vacation home there and went there often. My favorite thing to do there was fishing. Some of the fish we caught were garr, drum, bass, perch and spoonbill. Here's a little information about The Lake. Lake of the Ozarks is in the middle of Missouri. It is Missouri's all around vacation spot. It's a days drive from Arkansas, Illinois, Iowas, Okalahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. This man-made lake has 92 miles of main channel and offers a wide choice of water sports like fishing, boating, skiing, and swimming. There are hundreds of quiet coves along the 1,375 miles of scenic shoreline. There is also a large strip which has games and parks. On the strip there is bumper cars, carnival rides, and life-size mazes. There is large parks with slides and other entertainment. There is also a lot of stores and restaurants.

My name is Justa. I am 10 years old. I am writing to tell you about my favorite places. My favorite place is Florida. Oh, by the way, I live in Ingram, Texas. The reason why I like Florida is because, it's so beautiful there,and that is where I love to go scuba diving to see the dolphins. I wanted to know if you like mammals? If we meet sometime in life, we could be the best of friends. Maybe we could go to Florida and go scuba diving and see rays, colored fish, crabs, turtles, or maybe, dolphins.

My name is Leticia. I am 11 years old. I live in Ingram, Texas. I am writing to tell you about my favorite movie. My favorite movie is "Selena." I like it because it is sad. I wish I could sing like her. My most favorite part is when Selena sang my favorite song. It was in Spanish The sad part was when Selena died. It was a true story.
They still play her songs on the radio and sell her tapes. I am going to try to buy her tape.
Now back to the movie. In the beginning, when she was a little girl growing up, it was obvious she was a good singer. She would always sing in front of her Dad because he was her coach. He was the one who encouraged her to sing. He also encouraged her brother to play the piano and her sister to play the drums. After about two years they were really good. Then, later, when Selena was a teenager, she started becoming a famous person. This is my favorite movie. What is your favorite thing?

My name is Wendi. I am 11 years old. I live in Ingram,Texas. I am writing to tell you about my favorite place.
My favorite place is Corpus Christi. I like it because you can go down to the beach. You can go swimming in the salty water. The sand is warm when you are in it. Waves come up to the shore. You can make beautiful sand castles in the wet sand from the salty water. You can find big seashells on the shore.
You can see big ships in Corpus Christi,like the Lexington. It holds big airplanes. You can also walk inside the ship. Sometimes you can go on the boat and look inside.
There is a big bridge in Corpus Christi. It has lights all over it. At night you can see the lights from far away. They have big buildings that you stay at and eat at. They have a racetrack that you can ride a go cart on. You drive it as fast as you want to. They have another racetrack that has sand on it. You slide around on the track. There is this one specific hotel. It has a playground, a pool, and a hot tub inside the hotel. It also has a gift shop inside.
On Mustang island you can lay in the sand, the seashells, with little animals inside of them, will wiggle around, and make you laugh. Sometimes you see big birds. You also have to watch out for jellyfish. They have some of the best restaurants in Corpus Christi, like the one that is on a steamboat. They have some of the best food. There is a ferry in Corpus Christi. It takes you from Corpus to Mustang Island. I would only go there in the summer time. I go there every summer. It is nice. They also have this one hotel that has plates, spoons, and everything that you would need in a house. When I go down to Corpus Christi, we have water balloon fights. Also when we go down to Corpus Christi, I get to meet my relatives. Your Friend,

My name is J.D. I am 11 years old. I live in Ingram, Texas. I am writing to tell you about my favorite sport. My favorite sport is football. I like it because it is before any sport in the the season. I also like Emmitt Smith because he is always making touchdowns. I see his picture almost everywhere I look. Our family also likes football because we always bet on who is going to win. My grandma bets on the Redskins and I bet on the Cowboys. Last time we bet, the Cowboys won. It was obvious that the Cowboys were going to win anyway. That is why I go for the Cowboys. They won their last football game last Sunday. That's why I like playing football a lot. I played last Saturday and we lost. My position was running back and our team name was the Chiefs. We have only won 3 games. Your Friend, J.D.

I like to play it because I like to dribble and shoot hoops. Our team gets to wear basketball uniforms. We always get a lot of exercise when we play. It is obvious that we can see the ball. Before we can play we have to practice, then we can play. I have seen lots of people play before. Have you ever seen people play basketball before? At first I thought I didn't know how to play, but now I do. It doesn't matter how the team plays, it matters how you play. Do you like to play basketball? I do because it is fun. Your friend, Sarah

Clothes which I like: I like different styles of clothes: sport's, romantic, classic. But most of them I like classic style: jackets, long skirts and trousers. Every day I try to take on any new (not new thing but new combination of my old things) and try to make nice combination of colours. My favorite colours are black, white, gray and lilac. I like to wear classic style to school. But in summer I try to dress very bright yellow, orange, green. And at this time I like sport's style: I can run, jump and to do all what I want and like.

Everybody has friends. And my best friend is DRUJOK - the dog his name is FRIEND only in Russian. She is very tender little animal. We play together, walk, run and sometimes behave like hooligan. I like my dog because she is kind, tender and friendly. When she was little, she awoke me biting my hand. Now she changed but love me as earlier. When I return from school she jumps to my face but so she is very small - she canto jump to face very rarely. As most of dogs she can to stay on back legs, give me the "hand" and execute many others commands. So nice to have a dog!

My name is Katie. I like to read books about adventures. My favorite book is "The Hearts of Three" by J. Landon. I read it not one time. I like it. There are so much breathtaking inventions! It is some boring at the beginning but very interesting farther. I couldn't interrupt my reading. And every time, when I read to the end I felt very sad. The interestest place is when they found the rock with mother-of-pearl eyes. I lived with heroes of this book.

My favorite place to visit is the woods. The reason I like the woods in my backyard is because there are fox's, coyotes, bats, deer, frogs, and insects. I even went camping there all by myself during the day. I climbed a tree and saw people, it was funny. I even saw Serine going in the pool. And at night when I went out with a flashlight to get sticks I saw deer, bats, foxes, coyotes, and no frogs, but it was neat. I found them by a tree. I picked them up and went to bed with my bat.

My favorite hobby is dancing. Dancing is my favorite because I get to do tap, lyrical, ballet, and jazz. What I also like about dancing is balancing, and sequencing. My most favorite form of dance is lyrical. It lets me do a free-style of dance. Acro-dancing is a form of dancing gymnastics. We get to do acrobatics with our dancing and it's all to music. The best part about dancing and acro-dancing is being with new friends, and working together as a team.

My favorite place to visit is The Jersey Shore. I've only been a couple of times but my favorite thing to do is walk the sandy beaches and walk into the waves. I love to go swimming but I hate the taste and sting it gives you. It's really fun.

My favorite famous person in the Revolutionary War is Benjamin Franklin. That's because he traveled all the way to Europe. He did that for us. The reason the war started was because Ben could not get the Penn brothers to free the new land. Before Ben was a congress man, he was a printer. He had his own print shop with his family living upstairs. his original home was in Boston. He was an apprentice to his brother, James, before he ran away to Philadelphia. He then was sent to England by Governor Keith. He became a printer there. He came back after two years. He then married Deborah Reed. He died when he was 84.

My favorite toy is my 2 foot teddy bear .It's very soft but it takes up to much room in my bed. Every Christmas I put him in my Christmas close from when I was a toddler. On Halloween he doesn't quite fit in my old Halloween costume, but oh well. Steve
